Exactly. The way that Doctorow puts it in his book The Internet Con , it's actually perfectly legal to use a trademarked name, so long as it is not confusing to users/consumers. An example he gives is you couldn't open a r

Agreed: you don't want to create a solution to a hypothesized problem that doesn't actually exist. My point is that there are low hanging fruit if you step outside your immediate bubble, but — as you say — you'll need a guide

Did you ever try alternatives to Jupyter like Pluto.jl? I'm curious if there's the same sort of friction.

While I totally agree with the post, I think the tone of the delivery is likely to undermine the points made. From my perspective, for these guidelines to be adhered to there needs to be a broader buy in. 37signals are perhaps a prominent e

Is the reason for the absence of a well-maintained dataframe library lack of demand? It looks like Gota and Dataframe-go are abandoned, while Gonum isn't particularly active. Did these wither on the vine because no one used them?

Do you have experience implementing ETL pipelines in Go? I think it'd be a better fit for us over our current language, but I'm curious to hear from people who've actually done it.

I remember Stephen King writing in his book On Writing that he once deviated from this approach (Maximum Overdrive, perhaps?) and it really didn't go well. At the time, I thought creating characters, a scenario, and setting and then

Besides, can we even attract experienced developers to a non-glamorous industry like logistics? Perhaps it's perceived as non-glamous, but earlier in the week I met with a logistics team in another company who we're work

R has been part of my stack professionally for around 16 years and in that time I'd estimate maybe 15% of my code had anything to do with statistics. I've used it for numerical modelling, data viz, ETL pipelines, deploying APIs, b

Ah, I see. Would this come at a performance cost? (My only experience with GUI editors is VSCode, which feels sluggish compared to Helix.)

I'm a happy Helix user and I'm curious what the benefit is of this over terminal-based Helix?

I had a somewhat similar experience moving from science to data science/engineering. A PhD meant I fit your description of "overqualified, but in the wrong area". Those days were hard and hugely demoralising. Until my résumé

I'd never heard of Kate and wondered if someone could explain what Kate's differentiator is versus other popular editors (e.g., Vim, Emacs, VSCode)? Is there something in particular that sets it apart or is it just a matter of tas

While I love Clojure, I have to agree about tooling. I recently started using Gleam* and was impressed at how easy it was to get up and running with the CLI tool. I think this is an important part of getting people to adopt a language and C

Something I really like in the Clojure data science stack that isn't mentioned is Clerk* — an interesting take on notebooks. I think it's a good gateway into Clojure for those coming from a Python or R background. * https:/&#

You could still contribute in tiny but helpful ways. For example, fix a typo in the README, add an example to the docs on a topic you initially found confusing, etc. While these contributions seem trivial alone, together they add up to a mo

That's a good question. I tend to plug my phone in whenever I get in the car, so unfortunately I don't have a good feel for battery life yet. I didn't notice an issue with my Pixel 6a, though. That sounds like a pretty sweet
